Malraux was of an opinion that artists must be fully free in their right of expression without any sanctions from government. Furthermore, artists should produce works that emphasized the importance of human and humanity which represented humanism. Malraux stated that artists looked at their surroundings with eyes that differed from other people. Artists were born out of conflicts which allowed them to create new style of art.
